Attention is called to the fact that inconsistencies have occasionally occurred 
in the data given the writer for the census. Much effort has been made to 
correct them but it is not expected that all have been rectified. 

In the collection of facts for the history much difficulty has been experienced 
in obtaining information of a definite nature concerning the early settlers, but 
what has come to the hand of the writer has been used in this pamphlet with 
the hope it may be of some convenience and interest to the readers. 

Acknowledgement is hereby made of the many helpful suggestions and ne- 
cessary facts freely given by the citizens of the town. The writer in preparing 
these pages has not aimed at completeness — rather to brevity, and hopes that 
the concise statements of the facts contained herein may be of use as a refer- 
ence manuel.

LOCATION. 

The town of Kingiield is located in the County of Franklin, State of Maine. 
It is bounded on the north by the plantation of Jerusalem, on the east by the 
town of Lexington, on the south l)y New Portland and Freeman and on the 
west by Salem and Abraham Township. The east line and a part of the south 
line of King-field is the county line between Franklin and Somerset. 

The 45th paralell of north latitude passes through the upper half of the town 
of Kingfield, the village of Kingfield being about three minutes south of it. The 
middle point of Kingfield is about 9 minutes west of the 70th meridian of lon- 
gitude east of Greenwich. 

HISTORICAL. 
NATURAL FEATURES. 

The natural features of Kingfield are varied and extensive. The town occu- 
pies an area of a little more than 30 square miles and for the most part con- 
sists of upland territory. It is in some parts mountainous. The valley of the 
Carrabassett and a tract of intervale land extending through the "West part of 
the town" furnish excellent farming district. However, the town of Kingfield 
is not an agricultural town, tending more toward lumbering and lumber manu- 
facturing. Situated near Mt. Abraham and near other mountains of this re- 
gion, its scenery is picturesque. Few towns in Maine can boast a more varied 
and. interesting surface than Kingfield. 

There are numerous ponds and streams which furnish excellent fishing 
grounds. Tufts Pond being the most frequented at the present time. 

The water power of Kingfield is of sufficient proportions to supply the pres- 
ent needs and can be developed to still greater proportions. 

The Carrabassett river passing through Kingfield village crosses the eastern 
part of the town in a nearly north and south course and furnishes several good 
opportunities within Kingfield's bounds to establish small plants and thereby 
build up the industrial progress of the town. There are in Kingfield, at pres- 
ent, several plants run by water-power and conducting a good business in lum- 
ber manufacturing. The names of individuals and the lines they are in being 
found elsewhere in this pamphlet. 

The past twenty years have done much to develop the natural facilities of 
Kingfield, and today we see the town transformed from a little hamlet under 
the brow of the mountains, and scarcely known to the outside world, to a bust- 



4 KINGFIELD REGISTER. 

linK, enterprising town with modern eiiuipments and every advantage known 
to towns of many times lier size. Ardent hopes are entertained for a contin- 
uance of this growth, founded on the natural features of which we have been 
speaiving. Today her hills and mountains are thickly studded with white birch, 
iiopiar, spi uce, etc., and though this timber is being converted into long ai^d 
hhoit lumber and novelty work, it is believed that the supi)ly is sufficient for 
all future needs, thus assuring the steady growth of one of Franklin's most 
prosperous towns. 

EARLY SETTLEMENT. 

The town of Kignfield was originally a part of the "Bingham Purchase." It 
was also a part of the "Million Acres," the ownership of which was assumed 
by William King and Thomas Otis. King finally bought out Otis and assumed 
control of the whole territory. As is well known the enterprise was disastrous 
for King and it was one of the chief causes of the financial ruin which over- 
took him in his later years. It is said that the disgrace which these reverses 
brought upon him caused his insanity. While the enterprise resulted very dis- 
astrously for Gov. King, it was a great help to Kingfield. He was a thorough 
business man and employed improved methods in his business. His ""Million 
Acre Farm," as the towns of Lexington, Concord and Kingfield were called, 
was carried on in a business way but conditions were such that he could not 
financially succeed. 

He cleared land, built a dam across the Carrabassett on or near the site of 
the present one; built saw mills, corn mills, clover-seed mills, carding mills, 
felting and cloth-dressing mills, dyeing works, tanneries and leather dressing 
works and many other conveniences, all working to buUd up the town and 
make it a desirable place to settle in. Gen. King was a man of indomitable 
will. "He was the man whose energy and perseverance got the State of 
Maine incorporated." While a few settlers came into the territory of Kingfield 
voluntarily, many of them, in those early days, came in response to effort put 
forth by Gov. King, and were established on farms by him. 

Effort has been made by the writer to obtain exact information in reference 
to the early settlers. It was hoped that dates could be given in this account 
but such information was largely unobtainable. It has been pretty well estab- 
lished that the first white men to locate here were two hunters. Their names 
were John M. Button and Nathaniel Kimbal. They came from Farmington to 
this region to hunt in the fall of 1805 and in the following si)ring concluded to 
settle here. So, in 1S(»6 they brought their families and began the gigantic 
enterprise of transforming 3(5 sq. m. of wilderness into a town with the equip- 
ments demanded by civilized man. John M. Button was a prominent man for 
many years after the settlement became a plantation and even a town, being 
many times a town official. These two men in later years were drowned in 
the Carrabassett by a boat capsizing and going over the dam. No records are 
obtainable showing the names of the next two or three settlers Init it is pretty 
well established that Nathaniel Budley was one of the number. 

Mr. Budley was a man of many accomplishments and a business man of ex- 



HISTORICAL. 5 

cellent ability. He was selling agent for Gov. King, having charge of the dis- 
posal of all products from the vast farms operated in this region. 

His son, William King Dudley, was born in 1809, being the first white ma'c 
child born in Kingfield. Another son, Edmund Dudley, was general superin- 
tendent of the King farm and managed the whole estate. The Voses came 
about the same time as the above named. They came from Mercer. Soon after 
four settlers came from the town of Greene. They were Stephen Larrabee, 
William Larrabee, .lohn Stevens and Jacob Phillips. John Stevens was a 
prominent man in town for many years. Jacob Phillips' daughter, Martha, 
was the first white female child born in town. Joseph Tufts came into King- 
field not far from this time and settled on the hill near Tufts' Pond The 
Blanchards came soon after from Weymouth. Mass. Not far from this time 
Solomon Stanley and the Pullens came from Winthrop. We are sorry to say 
that we are unable to give the dates exactly. The Dolbiers, Pillsburys and 
Mayhews came from Boston. The Nortons came from Martha's Vineyard. 
The Gilberts came from Kingston, Mass. The Kings and Porters came from 
Dath and vicinity. The Longleys came from Norridgewock. The Fosters, 
Trasks, Ushers and Websters came from New Hampshire. Among the early 
settlers are the following names in addition to the above: Savage, Reed, Jud- 
kins, Pike, Wyman, Drummond, Hinds, Curtis, Simmons, Randall, Lane, Batch- 
elder, Lander, Thompson, Wood, Hathaway, ChaflSn, Hammond, Barnes, Filli- 
brown, French and Brooks. After the "hard times" from 1812 to 1816 were 
over the growth of Kingfield was steady. Gradually the pioneer's hand trans- 
formed the wilderness into a bustling community. Succeeding years develop- 
ed her natural facilities and gave us one of the substantial towns of Franklin 
County. 

ORGANIZATION. 

The earliest record of an organized government in the territory of the town 
of Kingfield, found in the town record bears the date of 1813. However, it is 
probable that this is not the date of the organization of the Plantation of 
Kingfield, the name by which this first government was known. Another 
name for it was Plantation No. 3 in the first range. On the fourth day of-April 
1814 was held the first regular plantation meeting of which we have a record. 
At this meeting votes were cast for Governor and Lieut. Governor of Massa- 
chusetts. In this election Kingfield gave Hon. Samuel Dexter 31 votes and 
Hon. Caleb Strong 7 votes. For Lient. Governor she voted for William Phil- 
lips and Albion K. Paris, the former receiving 7 votes and the latter 31 votes. 

This meeting was called by Nathaniel Dudley, John Stevens and William Lar- 
rabee, the board of assessors. For the year 1814-15 the assessors chosen were 
Joseph Knapp, John Stevens and Paul Wing. Lewis Mower was town clerk. 
Thomas Otis was collector of taxes. Thirty dollars was raised for town 
charges for the ensuing year. 

The next year the assessors were John Dutton, Lewis Mower and Stephen 
Larrabee. During the latter part of this year concerted effort was made to 
form a town government and success came to reward their efforts in the

MILITARY MATTERS. 
Kin.trfifld's part in military matters is one of which she can be justly proud. 
The town was founded by a military officer, and since her settlement there 
has been no military conflict of importance which has failed to bring forth 
soldiers from Kingfield, and their records have been an honor to the town. 
The Civil War called out tho largest number, and nobly did they do their 
work. One incident mars the lustre of Kingfield's role in the Civil War and 
this is so largely because the real nature pf the incident was not under.stood. 
Because of the general misunderstanding of the nature of the so-called "King- 
field Rebellion," we take this opportiinity to give the official report of the 



HISTORICAL. 9 

Adjutant General of Maine upon the affair and we trust that it will help tt. 
correct the erroneous idea that Kingfield, as a town, was disloyal. The re- 
port follows: 

"The only overt attempt to obstruct the enforcement of the conscription 
law in this State occurred in July 1863, in the towns of Kingfield, Freem.an 
and Salem in the second district. In these towns the distribution of notifi- 
cations to drafted men by the officers of enrolment, was resisted. In the 
former town officer Lambert of Phillips, when about to enter upon his duty, 
was met by a mob of nearly fifty persons and ordered to leave town, with 
threats of personal violence in case he refused. Appealing in vain to seve- 
ral of the influential citizens of the place to interfere and stay such riotous 
proceedings, and not deeming it prudent to lemain, the mandate of the mob 
was obeyed. In the town of Freeman a mob visited the residence of Mr. 
Clark, the enrolling officer, the same night, and destroyed the notifications he 
had in his possession. In the town of Salem the same operation was re- 
peated. Certain other riotous demonstrations took place a few days later 
in the town of Kingfield, indicating that unless such a bi.irit of opposition 
as was manifested was not put down, serious consequences would be the re- 
sult. The attention of the United States authorities being called to these 
flagrant violations of law and order, an expedition was detailed and placed 
under the charge of Post Adjutant Webber of Assistant Provost Marshal 
General's staff, with orders to proceed to Kingfield and enforce the laws and 
restore the public peace. The expedition was composed of the Lewiston Light 
Infantry, Capt. J. T. Stevens, made up mostly of returned veterans of the 
18th Regiment, numbering rank and file sixty-sdx men, called to this service 
by special order No. 13 of this department, of July 23, 18G3, and a detail of 
twenty-one enlisted men from Augusta, under Lieut. James A. Godfrey, who 
j'jiued the company at Lewiston. The whole command numbered eighty- 
seven rank and file, and was officered as follows: Capt. J. T. Stevens; 1st 
Lieutenant, James A. Godfrey; 2nd Lieutenant, N. Byron Reed. Private E. 
Sands acted as Quartermaster, and to captains Knowlton and Nye, privates 
A. O. Morgan, W. W. Ayer, and Dr. Martin were assigned the duty of serv- 
ing the notifications. Four days' rations were provided and ten rounds of 
ball cartridges given each man. 

On July 23d, in the aftemoon, this force left Lewiston by the Androscoggin 
lailroad for Farmington, where it encamped on the common for the night, 
while those selected to serve the notifications proceeded to New Portland. The 
next day morning the force proceeded to New Vineyard, t^ience to New Pert- 
land and thence to Kingfield. When within half a mile of the village, a del- 
egation of citizens, accompanied by a band of music, came out and escorted 
the company to the village, in the vicinity of which it was stationed. In the 
mean time those who had been detailed to serve the notifications, had arrived 
and entered upon their work, Adjt. Webber an.. Dr. Martin serving the notices 
in Kingfield, Capt. Nye and Private Morgan in Salem, and Capt. Knowlton 
and Private Ayer in Freeman. During the afternoon of the following day 
these officers reported that they had successfully accomplished their mission. 
The object of the expedition having been accomplished, it commenced its

reti:rn to Ltnviston. arrivinj^ during the alttinoon of the 2nth. 

I am happy to state that the loyal citizens on the route over whi( h tlu- ex- 
pedition passed, were untiling in their attention to the troops, and proffered 
every assistance in their power. The soldiers behaved with the greatest 
propriety. Not a single instance ot intoxication or disorderly conduct was 
reported. Adjutant Webber and Capt. Stevens are deserving of praise for 
their excellent discipline and the creditable manner in which they performed 
their duty. 

The promi)t and energetic action ot the United States authorities in sup- 
pressing by an armed force the treasonable spirit that had begun to show it- 
self, and which completely overawed the sentiment of loyalty, was the means 
of doing much good. While it strengthened the hands of the loyal portion 
of the community, it furnished a lesson to those who had taken a hostile 
attitude, by which they learned that such a course could not be tolerated 
or pursued with impunity." 

RECENT DEVELOPMENT. 

In the early eighties consideration of a railroad from Farmington was tak- 
en up and negotiationa were kept up fcr some time, the location of the pro- 
posed road being in doubt, but finally it was laid through Freeman and Salem 
to Kingfield and the first train whistled into Kingfield on Dec. 3rd, 1884. 
\>ith the coming of the iron road Kinglield's prosperity was assured and the 
growth from this point has been rapid. Old mills were i)ut into operation. 
New mills were built, new stores wei-e opened, new residences quickly ap- 
peared. I^ublic improvements were soon made, the poi)ulation grew rapidly, 
and the valuation cf town property increased from $ll!J.('(i(» in 1884, to over 
$33G,0(IO in 19U2. Enterprise succeeded depression. New life sprang into 
the town and completely transformed it. The first manufacturing plant of 
any size to be built after the railroad's coming was assured, was the concern 
now known as the Judkins & Bogert Mfg. Co. This crmcern has been one 
of the prime factors in bringing Kingfield to her present prosperity. It drew 
people here to labor, furnishing steady employment at fair wages. It created 
a demand for lumber, thereby benefitting the people of the rural districts. The 
infiux of po))u(ation built up trade of all kinds and soon the way was opened 
for fuither extension of the manufacturing interests of the community. 

The Huse Spool and Bobbin Company was the next of the large manufactur- 
ing concerns to build here. This company was incorporated in 19(i(» and em- 
ploys a large number of men and women. It also furnishes the electric light 
ing for the village. 

In 18!)G the Kingfield Savings Bank was incorporated. Its officers, at pres- 
ent, are: A. G. Winter, I'resident; H. S. Wing, Treas. Its record thus far 
has been very gratifying and its future success seems assured. The same 
year the Alhambra Building Company was incorporated and has for its of- 
ficers the following: E. E. Jenkins, President; O. W. Simmons. Vice Pres. ; 
and H. S. Wing, Clerk and Treasurer. Another corporation which is of 
great value to the community is the Kingfield Water Company, chartered 



PRESENT. 11 

by special act of the Legislature of 1897. The system by which the water 
supply was taken frcm Tufts Pond was built in the summer of 1898. The 
present officers of the company are as follows: E. E. Jenkins, President; 
H. S. Wing, Secretary and Treasurer. 

Another source of development to the town in not only the past fifteen 
years, but in years before, is the business enterprise of Chas. W. French and 
his brother, the late Sumner French. They ever labored to promote the wel- 
fare of the town and their time and money was so invested as to be a source 
of great help to the town, and for which it should be duly grateful. 

There are many other plants giving employment to sevei-al men and all work- 
ing together to benefit the proprietors and to promote the general interest 
of the town. Among the number are the following located on the right bank 
of the Carrabassett in Kingfield village: L. A. Norton, finish, flooring and 
moulding; H. P. Lander estate, drag and hand rakes; Ellis and Norton, axes 
and cant dogs; Mayo and Wilkins, worsted rolls and bosses; Moses Scrib- 
ner, long and short lumber. 

That Kingfield is a busy village iu these years of her renewed life goes with- 
out saying among those who have had the pleasure of visiting the place. 

One of the most noticeable features cf Kingfield's mercantile side is the 
large number of young men engaged in trade, and working at the professions. 
With almost no exceptions all are young men, many under thirty years of 
age. 

INCIDENTS AND FACTS. 

Many of our people today have some knowledge of the trials, hardships 
and privations endured by the founders of our town, but this knowledge is 
last becoming an indefinite mass, and unless some effort is made to collect 
and preserve these compiled names and facts that ought to be so fondly 
treasured will soon pass into the realms of the forgotten. Already a great 
deal that should be familiar to cur youth, as well as to the adults of cur com- 
munity, is no longer obtainable, and while we regret that so few of these 
facti3 that are within our reach, we take this opportunity to make note of some 
cf them that not all may be lost. 

We, at this late day, occasionally hear from some of our older citizens 
something of the obstacles that confronted the pioneers and made necessary 
those qualities that have placed them in the ranks of nature's noblemen. 
While we give due respect and admiration to those people, we still view them 
as an element foreign to our busy lives and forget the debt we owe them. 
Because a century in which the wcrld has been transfoimed intervenes be- 
tween them and us, we are prone to think of the pioneers as tar-off individuals, 
as strangers to the scenes we cherish today. Nay, not so. The pioneer was 
here. It was he who found this town a square area of forest, .wielded the 
woodsman's axe and felled trees where our stores, mills and shops now stand. 
It was he who broke the soil, bridged the streams and harnessed the waters, 
that nature might sustain her creatures. It was he who risked famine, In- 
dians and wild beasts, traced the footpaths, turnpiked the roads and built

c tizen In the time of the War of 1812-15 it was generally expected 1 
u.e Indians and English would uescend upon Maine from Canada and he 
rumor came to Kingfield that they were about to descend upon the town from 



HISTORICAL. 13 

the Canadian border, but a rumor only it proved to be, and soon the hamlet 
was restored to tranquility. 

Some .e\v facts that it is well to remember have been collected by the writ- 
er and are given herewith: 

The first white male child born in Kingfield was William King Dudley, 
born in 1809, and the second white male child was Davis Phillips. The first 
white female child was Martha Phillips. The first bridge built in Kingfield 
was built on the site of the Norton bridge as known at present. The sec- 
ond was the bridge built on or near the site of the chain bridge. This was 
a covered bridge and was blown down in a short time after being built. The 
first framed house was built near the cemetery, a little northwest of Orren 
Tuft's residence. Paul Wing was the builder. The first church was a Unicm 
house built on the site occupiea by the Universalist church at the present 
time. The first preachers were Howard Winslow and Nathaniel Gilbert. 
The first schoolhouse was erected not far from the railroad crossing on the 
"Freeman Road. " The first lawyer was Benjamin Foster. The first traders 
were Charles Pike and John Welcome. The stores were located on the lots 
extending from Daniel Cushman's residence to the house occupied by W. S. 
Jacobs. The first blacksmith was Thomas Fillibrown. The second was 
Hull Abbott. The first tailor was Patrick McLoon. The first mill occupied 
the present site . of the French saw mill, at Kingfield village was run 
by Solomon Stanley. The first harness maker was John Woodard, who re- 
moved to New Portland in the sixties. The first road turnpiked in town 
was the one leading to "Freeman Ridge." The first mail carrier of whom the 
wiiter has learned was Hiram tiaskell who brought the mail from Farming- 
ton to fvingfield. He made one trip a week. He carried the "nail on horse- 
back, using the oldtime "saddle bags" to hold and protect it. He carried 
according to the times a tin horn which he sounded lustily upon his arrival 
at the entiance of the vilage. Upon hearing it the people stepped to the road- 
side as he passed along and received their mail, and considered the mail 
facilities excellent.
